Objective To explore methods for establishinga cellu lar injury model of blood stasis syndrome (BSS). Methods Two experiments were c arried out. In the first experiment,the injured vascular endothelial cell model of BSS was established by the culture of vascular endothelial cell, and in the seco nd experiment, the vascular endothelial cell injured by the serum of BSS rabbit was cultured. Results In the first experiment, pathological features and end ocrine dysfunction in the primary cultured endothelial cell were similar to the B SS rabbit model, but the above changes did not remain in the subculture. The above changes were also found in the second experiment and were easy to be repea ted. Conclusion The injured vascular endothelial cell model of BSS establis hed b y the above methods reflects or partially reflects the structure and function of BSS rabbit model and the patients with BSS, and can be used to study the pathol ogical mechanism of BSS and therapeutic effect of blood_circulation activating a nd blood_stasis removing herbs.

Objective To explore the clinical value of wave intensity(WI) in assessing left ventricular systolic function of patients with impaired glucose regulation.Methods 72 people were involved in this study,according to their plasma glucose levels,subjects were categorized as normal plasma glucose group (group A),newly categorized impaired fasting glucose group (group B) and pre-diabetes group (group C).Carotid WI examination was performed and analyzed.The parameters included magnitude of the peak during early systole (W1),amplitude of the peak during late systole (W2),interval between R wave of electrocardiogram and W1 (R-W1),interval between W1 and W2 (W1-W2),stiffness parameter (β),pressure strain elasticity modulus(Ep) and arterial compliance(AC).Echocardiographic indices including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) and the peak velocity of mitral annulus at systolic phase(Sm) were determined in each subject.Results Compared to group A,W1,W2,β,Ep increased significantly while AC decreased in group C(P ＜0.05).However,this difference did not persist in group B.Compared to group A,LVEF and LVFS were not observed significantly different in group B and group C.Conclusions WI is a hemodynamic method which not only can evaluate left ventricular systolic function of impaired glucose regulation subjects but also be more sensitive than routine echocardiography.

BACKGROUND:Chinese herb, bushen yizhi formula protects at certain extent learning and memory in rat model of Alzheimer disease. The drug serum in this formula can alleviate neurotoxic reaction of nerve tumor cell NG 108-15 to beta-amyloid protein. In order to understand further the mechanism and compatibility of the formula, it is necessary to carry on the study on the broken formulas.OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of drug serum in subgroups of broken bushen yizhi formulas on growth and differentiation of cell model of Alzheimer disease and probe into the compatibility rule of bushen yizhi formula in view of serum pharmacology.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: DME Center of Clinical Pharmacological Institute Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.PARTICIPANTS:The experiment was performed in DME Center of Clinical Pharmacological Institute Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to August 2003, in which, 40 healthy male SD rats of 3 months old were employed and NG108-15 cell line was frozen-preserved.into the control, original formula group (No. 1 group) [shechuanzi (Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss), gouqizi (Lycium barbarum L.), renshen (Panax ginseng C.A.Mey.), heshouwu (Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.), danpi (Paeonia Suffruticisa Andr.) and bingpian (Borneolum)], kidney replenishment group (No.2 group) [shechuanzi (Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cuss), gouqizi (Lycium barbarum L.), etc.], group for benefiting qi and nourishing blood (No.3 group)[renshen (Panaz ginseng C.A.Mey), zhishouwu (Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.), etc.] and group with bingpian (Borneolum) removed (No.4 group)[Panax ginseng C.A.Mey.], heshouwu (Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.) and danpi (Paeonia Suffruticisa Andr.)], 8 rats in each group. The concentrated Chinese herbal solutions of every group were applied at 10 μL/g (equal to 6 g/kg of raw herbs) for gastric infusion successively,continuously for 1 month. In the control, the physical saline solution of equal dosage was used for infusion. Two hours after the last gastric infusion in rats of each group,the blood was collected from heart after anesthesia and the serum was sepaNG108-15 cell cultured in vitro was divided into 6 groups. In the control and model group, normal rat serum was contained in proliferated culture solution. In the rest 4 groups, the drug serum of No. 1 group and 3 sub-groups was contained.Simultaneously, beta-amyloid protein 25-35 in each hole was prepared to the terminal concentration 5 μmol/L (except in the control) and the culture went on for 48 hours.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:MTT method was used to determine proliferated number and survival rate of cells. Simultaneously, the ratio of neurite cells to total cell count and average length of neurit were determined.icantly than the control (0.520±0.022, 0.665±0.037, P ＜ 0.01), and that in every drug serum group was higher than model group, of which, the result vival rate of differentiated cells: That in model group was lower significantly than the control (58.4%, 100%) and that in every drug serum group was higher than model group, of which, the result in No.4 group was the most tal cell count: That in model group was lower significantly than the control [(42.95±11.42)%, (58.75±12.84)%, P ＜ 0.01] and that in every drug serum group was higher than model group, of which, the result in No.4 group was rite: That in model group was shorter significantly than the control [(356.0 ±109.0), (493.8±133.0) μm, P ＜ 0.01] and that in every drug serum group was longer than model group, of which, the result in No.4 group was the most significant [(486.8±79.2) μm, P ＜ 0.01].CONCLUSION: The drug serum in all of bushen yizhi formula and every subgroup inhibits at certain extent the injury of beta-amyloid protein 25-35 to NG108-15 cell, but the results of each group are various. The protection of drug serum to the cell in every group is in the sequence from strong to weak as group with bingpian removed ＞ original formula group ＞ kidney replenishment group ＞ group for benefiting qi and nourishing blood. It is to expect a further study on the efficacy of group with bingpian removed.

Objective To explore the effects of electroacupuncture on the expression of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and protein kinase Bβ (Akt2) in the skeletal muscles of insulin-resistant (IR) rats. Methods Twentyfour male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal control group, a model group and an electroacupuncture (EA) group. The rats of the model group and the EA group were fed with high fat diets to establish a model of insulin resistance. The rats in the EA group were then treated with electroacupuncture for 2 weeks, while those in the model group were not. Blood samples were collected to evaluate fasting insulin (FINS) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) to calculate the insulin sensitivity index (ISI). GLUT4 and Akt2 mRNA in the skeletal muscles were determined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCRs) after 2 weeks of EA treatment. Results Compared with the control group, the FINS in the model group increased significantly, and ISI decreased significantly. Compared with the model group, the FINS in the EA group decreased significantly and ISI increased significantly. The expression of GLUT4 and Akt2 mRNA in the model group was significantly lower than in the control group or the EA group. Conclusion Electroacupuncture might improve the condition of IR rats, probably by enhancing the transposition of GLUT4 in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase signaling pathway.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of exercise combined with tiotropium bromide and salmeterol/fluticasone inhaling on stable chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD).Methods Sixty COPD patients with pulmonary function Ⅲ-Ⅳ grade were randomly allocated into experiment group and control group (30 cases in each group).The patients in experiment group were treated with inhaled tiotropium bromide and salmeterol/fluticasone combined with excise,while the patients in control group were treated only with inhaled tiotropium bromide and salmeterol/ fluticasone.Respiratory training with shrinkage lip respiration and steps training was given to the patients in experiment group for 8 weeks.Main outcome measures included forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),FEV1,in the anticipation value (FEV1%),FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC),Medical Research Council (MRC) score,activities of daily living (ADL) score and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD).Results MRC score in control group and experiment group was both lower than that of pre-treatment (P < 0.01).ADL score,6MWD and pulmonary functional parameters in both groups were improved than those of pre-treatment (P< 0.01).FEV1,FEV1%,FEV1/FVC,MRC score,ADL score and 6MWD were (1.41 ±0.25) L,(53.76 ±11.17)%,(62.12 ±10.78)%,(1.56 ± 1.16) scores,(5.51 ±0.18) scores and (342.7 ± 19.7) m after treatment in experimentgroup,and (1.28 ± 0.23) L,(46.27 ±8.85)%,(55.76 ±8.57)%,(2.29 ±1.13)scores,(4.47 ±0.13)scores and (280.6 ± 17.8)m after treatment in control group.There were significant differences between two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Tiotropium bromide,salmeterol/ fluticasone inhaling can improve life quality and pulmonary functional parameters in patients with stable COPD,while exercise combined with that can significantly enhance the therapeutic effects.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of different operative methods for duodenal diverticulum. Methods Articles of operations for duodenal diverticulum that were published between January 2000 to August 2006 were retrieved from China Journal Full-text Database, and the symptom remission rate and complication rate were underwent Meta-analysis.

Objective To evaluate the treatment effects of the olecranon comminuted fracture by the angle stability prin-ciple combined with support under the articular surface. Methods From November 2008 to June 2012, 13 patients (7 male and 6 female, aged from 20 to 77 years) suffered from olecranon comminuted fracture were treated with Synthes anatomy locking com-pression plate and screws combined with Kirschner wires supporting under the articular surface through the posterior median ap-proach. Fractures occurred in the left elbow in 9 and in the right elbow in 4. According to the Mayo classification, 11 cases were classified as Mayo type IIB and 2 as IIIB. According to the Schatzker-Schmeling classification, 2 fractures were type A2, 9 type C, and 2 type D. One patient with type C fracture also had type I coronoid fracture according to Regan and Morrey classification. The Mayo elbow performance index (MEPI) and the shortened disabilities of the arm shoulder and hand (Quick-DASH) were employed to evaluate the functions. All patients took the satisfaction survey and X-ray during the follow-up. Results All patients were fol-lowed-up for 8 to 41 months. The mean ROM of the elbow joint was 112° (range, 65°-140° ), and the mean rotation angle of the forearm was 170° (range, 150°-180°). The mean score for the MEPI was 96 (range, 85-100), excellent 12, good 1. The mean score for the Quick-DASH was 6.2 (range, 0-16.7). In the satisfaction survey, 8 patients were very satisfied, 4 satisfied, 1 common level. All patients took the X-ray during the follow-up and all of them had achieved fracture union completely with the mean time period as 12.7 weeks (range, 11-24 weeks). No cubitus varus, valgus, and instability were found in all patients. No complication, such as infection, ulnar nerve injuries and etc. was found. Five patients complained about mild discomfort caused by internal fixation at 3 months after surgery. Three of them were diagnosed as joint stiffness because of ROM within 100° . One case in 3 elbow stiffness patients developed osteoarthritis after eight months, but no pain during joint activity. Internal fixation was removed in one case;an-other young patient took the operation for removal of internal fixation and release of medial ligament;the third patient refused oper-ation. Conclusion Angle stability principle (Synthes anatomy locking compression plate and screws) combined with supporting under the articular surface (Kirschner wires) can achieve stable fixation in treating olecranon comminuted fracture. It may realize the early exercise of the elbow joint with excellent clinical results. Therefore, it may be an optional choice in clinical practice.
